Officer. Welcome to the four this afternoon. Im heather holmes. Im alex savidge. Interviews tom vacar has been a long 580 all day. He reports an update on this story. Tom, where did the pursuit first start . Reporter it is such an odd case. Initially it started way out in the east bay. Lets take a look at the video that we shot. Before noon on westbound 580, a dublin district chp officer got a bolo to look out for a silver chevy impala being driven erratically. The pursuit went from the dublin district right through the san leandro district and into the oakland district to just past where 580 intersects with highway 24. The driver, in attempting to get away, got wedged between a transit shuttlebus and the median barrier. The chp then blocked him in and the driver ran into the chp car and the bus trying to get away. The chp officer, one of them was discharged a weapon but no one was struck and apparently no one injured. The officers overcame the resisting driver and transported the person to jail. Chp says that person was under the influence of drugs. 580 west was closed for several hours and reopened between 2 30 and 3 30 for the rush hour. That is the good news if you look behind me, you can see the five videos open. What is interesting about this, truly, is for hours and hours, the chp said nothing. Normally there on the scene, as was a Public Affairs officer from the chp at the time all of this was going on. My guess is that it has something to do with the discharge of a weapon, that they dont want to discuss or are still investigating but the situation is now over. It was a very long chase, very erratic driving and fortunately, in the end, nobody was hurt. That is the good news and all of this. And good news for drivers that finally come hollow fire av that is 580 has reopened. Not to San Francisco were an Office Building was evacuated after a fire broke out in the basement. The fire was reported at nine a man that is 9 am between six and seven on Market Street. Heavy smoke was billowing into several force. The 6 Story Building was evacuated as crews handled what turned out to be a very tricky fire because it was in an electrical vault. They could not use water to put it out. We currently have a full first alarm assignment with additional Truck Companies that specialized in co2 units and along with members with pdd to help turn off the electricity which is a batteryback as long as electrical components and extinguish the fire. In the end, fortunately, nobody was hurt. Market street was shut down between fifth and eighth street for a couple of hours until crews were able to put out the fire. Lets head outside now for a look at the warm, muddy conditions. Meteorologist, mark tamayo is here. Mark, you said you are looking at the chance, maybe, a small chance, of thunderstorms . Reporter that is right, the pattern is a southerly flow and it is humid and muggy last week and the same thing as we head toward tonight and wednesday morning. As has been mentioned, a slight chance of thunderstorms and a good chance they will be focused in the north bay because we have moisture moving in from the south, humid air and instability that will meet over the bay area. This is the circulation we are watching in this pacific, that little curly cue moving up from the south. It will eventually take this way north of the bay area, along the track better chance of picking up those thunderstorms. The brighter colors me represent the moisture in the air. The brighter it is, the more moisture showing up and that is moving from the south. You can feel the humid conditions sitting up later tonight into tomorrow and that is the main reason why. Not a lot of Lightning Strikes with the area of low pressure offshore. It is something we would be watching. Tropical clouds moving from the south. This was once linked to a Tropical Storm that has weakened into an area of low pressure. High clouds and humid conditions setting up for tonight and it is wednesday. Upper level instability behind or below that, we have a layer of dry air so any rain that does fall will not reach the ground. That is what we have for the concern with a slight chance of dry thunderstorms and the main concern would be that a new fire could start with any rainfall that develops but it could lead to a new fire start. No red flag warnings but still some concern later on tonight and wednesday morning. That will also eventually cool us off of we will talk about the cold on in the forecast coming up.
